XIII INTERNATIONAL GATHERING END:
DAY-BY-DAY PROGRAMME

Every day

Each day, after the Opening Ceremony on Monday 15 July, we will begin our meeting with a prayer that the Lord may bless the time we will spend together. After this, we will have the opportunity to listen to a meditation that explores the Gospel story of Emmaus and the theme of the day. This will be led by Professor Marina Marcolini, who will help us to apply the verses of the Gospel to our experience of faith.
In addition, at the beginning of each day there will be a short video clip that will guide us in deepening and enhancing an important part of our experience as members of Teams: the Team Meeting, breaking it up into all its parts.
During lunchtime every day, it will be possible to visit the EXPO where each SR and RR will showcase their country and their Teams experience.
The first three days of our gathering will conclude with a Mixed Teams experience. These are precious and characteristic moments for our identity as members of Teams. Sometimes it will take place before dinner and sometimes after dinner, but always at the hotels where you are staying.
Every day it will be possible to take part in the Sacrament of Reconciliation or to experience a moment of Adoration in the Chapel that will be set up inside the arena hosting us. Every day it will also be possible to access a space dedicated to the Shroud, where a faithful copy of the Shroud will be on display, accompanied by a brief explanation in all languages.
